[Android Head-Units] crxforya:
I have found a wealth of great information on this thread about this product. I read about 180 pgs before even ordering. I have since received the unit have it rooted and am somewhat satisfied with my purchase. I have a couple questions that have probably been covered but was not able to locate the specific info within these 250 pgs. I have installed bluetooth connect lite and bluetooth autoconnect to the device. My linux compatible bt dongle should be here in a matter of days. My question is that does the device need that dongle in order to turn on bluetooth, or should the software alone be able to perform this task? This way I can pair my phone now with the internal bt, until the dongle arrives? Another question is that does the front usb port have to be connected before the device is powered on to display a external hd that was plugged in??

Any help with this info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

just to respond to your post. I have not had this unit long but have had a pioneer unit for about 5 yrs. avh4200 series and I would say that sound clarity is definitely better with the pioneer, but this Ouku unit that I purchased is not horrible. It gives you decent sound just dont expect concert level clarity out of the device out of the box.
[Android Head-Units] escknx:
Sure thing there is nothing to expect out of the box. I use PowerAMP player in Android so it makes great sound processing.

I'm actually just curious about an internal amplifier.
[Android Head-Units] crxforya:
I dont have any power specs, but it does give adequate power output for the highs and mids.

Hi everyone, a quick question is it possible to upgrade the DDR memory on these units, I have the I FREESCALE I.MX535. Thank you.

Plz help identifying this unit.

Hello, I am new here so if im in the wrong place please redirect me kindly . Anyways heres the problem. I purchased this android deck ( I wont bother posting a pic of the faceplate, I know its random on each device basically) And I cant seem to root it or identify it properly. Here is the pictures I took from a few info apps . As far as I know its capacitive ( the listing apparently lied and its running 2.3.7 instead of the advertised 4.1) BT wont connect or turn on , other than the built in app . google play services " is not supported and eff you " , password for extra settings is " 123456" in case any body ever comes looking . I thought that everything seemed to link up to the OUKA unbranded device, so I tried to flash the roms I find in this thread : when unit is off and vehicle is in "ON" or "RUN" , and I press power + any combination or single other button as well as power, and hold both or either in any combination for any length of time ( with the firmware properly extracted to root of blank properly formatted SD ) I get a VERY quick (1-2 sec) glimpse of a screen saying something like update start .. update end SUCCESS!! --which is a lie and no changes occur , the only difference I see so far with the ouku device and my device are the processor in my device is an ARMv7

Please direct me to the adequate sources to find a way to get BT hooked up to my elm327 BT and to root this damn thing. ive been googling for days and even hooked up mny laptop via usb ( which btw literally nothing happened , computer didn't even know it was plugged into the deck and vice versa for the unit. on both USB front and rear, and multiple dongles/adapters....yes ive tried everything , I just need the right firmware but I have no idea wth this device actually is )

if you need more pics or any other information let me know. i'm a nerd , not a noob , so please don't talk to me in laymans terms, just tell me the raw data and im good , or a link would be nice. thank you guys for your time!

EDIT:, hit post by mistake before upload was finished...sorry ,,maybe I am a noob :( lol

EDIT 2: I finally got this thing rooted., I updated the MCU with "Capacitive BT OBDII SW controls. .... everythings awesome and works great! other than the fact that both of my BT OBD2 dongles "pair but do not connect" and I cant do anything to get any aspect or app to play any kind of sound whatsoever ...any help?

Witson W2-A90xx series is likely AN-21 U like design

No, apparently not. I got the Ford model version of it, and it seems it is one like the AN-21 U discussed in a different thread. E.g. I got it rooted with the tool offered there, and the firmware version info is like other examples in that thread. Also, the box didn't display any brand name, but a tag with "6680GA". Thongai Create calls their Ford model TH6680

So I assume, this is true for all Witson W2-A90xx models.
[Android Head-Units] unixdood:
Is there a way to AUTOSTART Bluetooth when the radio starts up? Right now I need to use the quick Bluetooth app and go in and turn on Bluetooth. I wish it would just turn on automatically. Anyone know? Also is there a different Radio tuner app for this ouku unbranded? I HATE the radio interface.
[Android Head-Units] chad yull:
yes, and plz help lol

Yes, as far as I know. My device is VERY close to this device so I think it may be a variant of it .

This is the story so far:

after much distress and bricking over and over or getting an mcu to work but end up with no sound, I finally got a working mcu and rom combo.

NOW- I have Root, in the usb in the rear I have a 4 port hub , with a bt dongle a wireless mouse dongle a 4gb usb drive and a usb keyboard.

I downloaded a bunch of different Bluetooth settings apps, most of them work to turn on the bt dongle, and then connect to all of my bt ob2 reader dongles in said port.( torque connects after a bit of fighting with the settings..mess with yours and it will work eventually lol)

I used the mcu file out of a forum but I forget what device it is actually for :S ( if anybody needs to know this to help me I can easily find out after work tomorrow) and the Capacitive BT OBDII SW Controls rom flashed to my unit and it all works now,

I do still have the following problems :

1- NO gamepad or controller even gets noticed in any way by the head unit , sixaxis app turned on bt but failed to find controller, xbox 360 controller doesn't pair, and about 7 different usb gampads all do nothing at all , ( I downloaded and properly installed and chmoded the Vendor_0453_Product_0291.kl and cp'd it properly with su access, as well as about 30 other .kl's and none get registered)

2-wifi connects ALWAYS but doesn't always "actually" connect, will say its fully connected but apps and browser cant connect, UNLESS, the wifi dongle is plugged into the FRONT usb port

3-I have to turn off and then turn on most of the OBD2 BT dongles every time I restart the head unit to get torque to link up .

4- google play services is not supported apparently , so I cannot install youtube or many other apps.

5-I NEED to log into play store with 2 accounts( half my paid for apps are on one account half on the other, all other devices let me do this as well), but I cant seem to find an option to add a new account., device does NOT have the "accounts" option in settings

6-I cannot seem to get head unit to connect to pc via usb front or back usb, with hub or otg or just hub

7- I am unsure of the EXACT device this is , ( for more research into other projects ect) any help?

A few posts back on my other post here,the attached files there are pictures of the FACTORY setup "about device"

any devs able to help?

latest mcu

Hi all please don't flame me.

Firstly I have a 7 inch unit but im pretty convinced its the same one just different screen, everything looks the same as far as apps functions etc here is the description off ebay for specs

Main system information

- Motherboard: Panasonic MN101EF31G 8-bit MPU

- Android Core CPU: TCC8900 ARM11, 1G MHZ

- Internal memory: 1GB DDR2 RAM, 4G Nand Flash

- External memory: supports TF/USB drive up to 32GB

- Operating system: Android 4.0

also this photo from the unit showing build etc

View attachment 2684930

I have gone through so many pages and cant seem to find if there is a link to some sort of list or something explaining which is the latest firmware the latest one i can find is 421645ROM_MCU2.10.6-1-10-12.12.32.zip can anyone confirm thats the latest one?

from what i can tell its already rooted I had the unit in the car and messed around with supersu and tried to install recoveries etc via abd but didnt really have much luck.

I think it would be awesome if someone could start a new thread and put all the main info people would be looking for in first couple posts make sure to include stuff like how to root, install recovery, update rom, update mcu and fixes for common issues. Make sure you name the post right and include everything people would search for that have this unit ie all the different motherboards/cpu combinations and known names from other main suppliers ie i think chinavasion calls this model the road emperor. Im happy to do it but obviously need all the info first so any help would be appreciated.

I think this would really help the development of this device speed along and the noobs trying to figure it all out :)

Ultimately i want to port katkiss 4.4.2 so if anyone wants to help or has any info on an easy way of making this happen please let me know.

How good are you with a soldering iron? ;)

I expect the RAM is soldered to the board - it is on most systems of this type. Upgrading it is sometimes an option for people who have the skills, but rarely worth the effort (and risk) for anyone who doesn't do surface mount soldering as a day job.

There's a wiki page (or series of pages now) for that. See my sig.
[Android Head-Units] spec0ps:
Call me crazy but i cant see any actual info on rooting etc on the wiki page, it just redirects to the start of this thread.

That isnt very helpful when the threads 251 pages

can you confirm my head unit is the same as this?

trying to flash the hal custom rom and not having much luck, I cant get it to load it :(

ps i was able to get into the system files via es file manager if that helps and mine came pre rooted :S
[Android Head-Units] sciallo:
I'm not sure what you got there, but it is not the unit discussed here. Tho OUKU discussed on this thread is rooted by simply loading the pre-rooted rom. It will NOT work on yours as for what I can tell the hardware is completely different.

The Generic Android Head Unit wiki page should help identify wich one it is (if it is any of the ones listed there), I would start by matching processor and other hardware specs...

Yea I would have, actually tried but it wouldn't let me post one. Go on eBay and search "android single din" and it will show them. The first listing is the ouku

I need help!!

My unit was working just fine, until this afternoon.. i went to the store and when i came back and turn on my car the stereo got stock on the boot screen. But the rear camera still works.. i tried pressing home + power and it just said updating.. and update success but nothing happens, I also tried the reset button but no luck
[Android Head-Units] sciallo:
The only single dins I see are window ce with android virtualized, craps in my opinion but regardless, not at all what is discussed here. None of the Roms would work on them.

If you did find a single din pure android, please post the eBay item number, I'd love to know there is one.

I cant seem to get the app to turn on BT. Ive tried two options either gets stuck at connecting BT on BT autoconnect. and with Quick BT it doesnt allow me to click the check to turn on. Is there something Im missing???

Thanks.

Thanks for all your posts. I am aware that this is an old thread also, but what BT apk are you using. I still cant seem to get BT to connect on my device. Just wont allow me to turn on using Quick BT lite??? This is the unit that I bought, http://www.ebay.com/itm/150942959362?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649, It as been rooted and mcu has been updated just like many others on this forum. Just at a bit of a loss!!

Thanks for your help.
[Android Head-Units] xsirxx:
Ahh my understanding was the Windows CE part was just for the GPS and not for virtualizing android. Is this true? Were there other head units like this? If so, you would think it would be much harder to virtualize android rather than have it run native? I went ahead and purchased it because frankly there are no other options that I know of. I will post any findings I have once I get it in from China. If there is anything you or anyone else would like to know, I can grab that info for ya. At this point I know nothing more about it outside of some of the postings for it listed it as OUKU brand...

EDIT: It states it has an A10 (allwinner?) cpu for android and a panasonic for GPS?

I added the loader for the radio with a capacitive screen in the archive.

Thanks 949BFN !

If you have a radio with a capacitive screen, before firmware update, you must replace ”u-boot-skip.bin” file with “u-boot-skip.bin.capacitive” (rename by removing .capacitive)

Okay, I uploaded firmware to Dropbox

Changes made by me regarding stock version:

Builtin root (Superuser)

Support USB Bluetooth dongle to connect to the OBD2 ELM327 adapter with Bluetooth interface.

Support OBD2 ELM327 adapters with USB interface based on FTDI and pl2303 chips.

Ability to connect to Wi-Fi networks using the mode AdHoc, including OBD2 ELM327 adapters with Wi-Fi interface.

Supports large disks with NTFS through FUSE module

Automatically create APN settings in 3G-modem

This firmware is made to Android 2.3.7.

To get work Torque with USB OBD2-adapter, you must create file /etc/carit_version2 with "finland_rds_ru" line inside and assign permissions rw- r-- r-- to it.[/QUOTE]

I am guessing that I missed an important step somewhere, but after applying the above I no longer have audio for any music or video files.

Any ideas??

Thanks very much in advance.

This is the update I installed 2013.3.26.MCU+2.10.8-1-10-1+…Hal9k.rar from post http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=40107236&postcount=471
[Android Head-Units] jakejm79:
I suspect you had a newer version of the MCU and using the old in that firmware caused the loss of audio. There is a MCU file in this thread somewhere for the new versions. Just FYI that firmware from Hal9K is old, there are new versions with specific versions for screen type and they don't include the MCU file so no chance of upgrading to the wrong one.
[Android Head-Units] BiliTheAxe:
Does anyone have any idea where in this thread the newer MCU file may be?

There are a lot of pages here, and I'm not sure that I would know the correct one if I found it.
[Android Head-Units] Jake Bullit:
Are you using any non native music playing apps?

If you are delete the app cache and uninstall, then reboot, and then try the stock music player.
[Android Head-Units] BiliTheAxe:
I have had no sound from the second I installed the update. No additional music players were installed until well after the problem started.

I have tried resetting the system, but no change. I can hear beeps from the system when they are enabled in setting, but that is about it.

I can't clear the cache on the music player because the buttons are not lit up, so I am guessing that there is nothing to clear in the cache.

It was suggested before that the mcu update may have been the problem, but I am at a loss in locating the newer mcu file or one of the newer firmware updates that were mentioned.

I've been going page by page looking at URLs posted, but so many people have posted links to there units on various sites that it is taking forever to find anything. (Not that I will know that an update is one I can use, because the boards rules won't allow me to post anything that I find to confirm that it is one that I can use.

Thank you very very much that did the trick and brought back my sound.

Now to see if I can get torgue running on this puppy. I already purchased the recommended blue tooth adapter, and the recommended obd2 adapter.

By the way, what does it take to get to a point where I can post links, or not have to enter the damned capture code?

I'm probably going to be spending a bit of time here, but being handycapped in this way makes it a ***** to post.

I'm a mod at the official Toshiba users forum, so I can understand their reasoning for doing this stuff, but it is still a pain.

I saw posts some time back about gathering up the facts and updates and putting them in one place for easier reference. Perhaps some of the more knowledgeable people can put them together and post them in one post, then get a mod to add a link to that post in the first post of this thread.

That would give an active member the ability to update the information as new details or updates come up, and make it easier for new people to find what they need.

LCD screen died

While driving today the LCD suddenly faded slowly to grey, then to black. When I restart the unit, the LCD screen shows the boot logo for 4-5 seconds, then fades to grey, then black.

Has anybody else experienced this issue? I purchased the unit back in December from this seller:

http://www.aliexpress.com/snapshot/306445356.html

(I realise the faceplate is a little different than some of the others in this thread, but from my understanding, all the internals and the LCD are the same)

I contacted them regarding a possible RMA, we'll see how it goes.
[Android Head-Units] BiliTheAxe:
Have you tried doing a factory reset on it?

There is a small reset button on the right side of the screen that you can press with a pen point that will reset the unit to factory settings. Just turn the unit on and press in that little button. The unit should then shut down and restart as it was before you added apps or changed settings.

Not sure if this is the correct thread. I have the 4.1 Pure Android version with capacitive touch screen.

Anyone know how to unbrick or what is wrong with this thing? It's from China and I would hate to wait for a replacement and send back the old unit, probably will cost a lot just for shipping.

I didn't update the firmware or change anything to it except for install some music player apps, all I'm getting is a white screen. No hard reset combinations seem to be working. The buttons are still green from when I changed it and I'm getting sounds (white noise).

Is there a working method to force it downoad the firmware on the SD card? Will a USB Jig work? Has anyone had any success unbricking this thing?
